JUnit and WebDriver by IntelliJ IDEA - selenium

Question

Im working in IntelliJ and need to add dependency's to Selenum WebDriver and Junit.
I already added the jars (as mentioned in all possible tutorial) to my Project lib.
I can also see them in the project view - Selenium-java-2.39.0.jar, Selenium-java-2.39.0.srcs.jar, Selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar AND junit-4.11.jar
Nevertheless, my project can not recognized this items (for example
import org.openqa.selenium.;
import static org.junit.Assert.;
Any ideas?

Answer 1

I would recommend investing some time learning about some dependency management solutions. Here are my top two selections:
Maven
Ivy
If using maven, you'd have a pom.xml in your project and you'd have something like:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-chrome-driver</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-htmlunit-driver</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-firefox-driver</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-safari-driver</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-ie-driver</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-support</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
Ivy is very similar, but i won't get into it. If you need a project to get you started, you can check out this project (download here) which is used by Major League Gaming for their selenium framework

Answer 2

I agree, you should invest in a dependency management solution, but if you are not forced to use maven, try gradle.
It is way lighter and flexible...
In that case, my dependencies are resume to 1 line:
compile "org.gebish:geb-spock:0.9.2", "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-firefox-driver:2.39.0", "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-support:2.39.0"
I agree, I could add a second line with a property for the selenium version.
Gradle is really well supported by intellij Idea.
